Our future in doubt

I am deeply concerned about our nation. Our government, both state and federal, has come to the point that they are unable to govern. They are so far to the right and left that there is no middle ground.

Until there are open primaries in every state, there is no way for it to change.

Even our news media is no help. They are split on party lines and put their spin on any issue. I see no bright spot in our future.
